Hi Foxes

Thomas has created a new Times Table game that he thought you might enjoy playing.

It looks like lots of fun and it will definitely help you with your tables! 

All you need is some cards with numbers 0-12 on them. You could use ordinary playing cards and make the king number 12 or make your own with some paper.

Instructions (2 players)

1. Split the cards into two piles.
2. Each person puts one card down each time.
3. Multiply the two numbers together.

The first person to correctly multiply the two numbers together wins the hand.
The person who wins the most hands wins the game.

Have fun and thank you Thomas! 

I have also attached some Times Table Rock Star sheets below if you want some extra work.

Easter Activities

Hi Foxes! It has been great to hear from soo many of you the last couple of weeks! I am very proud of the effort you have been putting with your home learning! During these next two weeks it is time to have some fun and enjoy doing some Easter activities at home with your families. Make the most of this time to do activities that you love. I'm going to do some writing, maybe I will eventually write the book that I have always wanted to write.

Stay safe and Happy Easter! Love Miss Disney x

Below are some activities you can do over the next two weeks:

 Chose your favourite book and answer any three of the reading homework questions from your reading record.

Topic Day

Hello Yellow

Grey Foxes have been problem solving using loop cards today.

The children were very excited today for our first music lesson. We learned how to keep a beat with our feet, and follow a rhythm with our voices.

We can't wait to start learning a brass instrument!!

Our first day has been very busy. The best part was our Frog Jump problem solving activity.

A special well done to Michael for being the first to solve the problem!
